Chapter 436: Chapter 318 Rebirth Island Ecology

The weather in October, for the outskirts of the tropical Rebirth Island, was still scorching hot.

The monsoon brought insects and seeds that took root and sprouted, endowing this place with endless vitality.

It was unclear whether it was due to geological reasons, but all the flowers, plants, and trees grew exceptionally fast and lush, and many of them were ancient plants that had long been extinct.

This discovery exhilarated biologists from various countries who came here for inspection and exploration, as if they had encountered a new world.

With the arrival of a new island, naturally, seabirds would visit, and the droppings of seabirds in turn attracted schools of fish.

Then, the schools of fish attracted various marine animals, instantly enriching the ecology near Rebirth Island.

Zhang Xiaoman was now on Tianquan Island, which was specifically used to set up the Star Network Host.

This thing was indeed miraculous, being the main body that connected the entire Star Network with powerful technological force, yet its entity was a giant tree that pierced through heaven and earth.

This tree could not only be used to activate various module functions, but it also had most attributes common to ordinary trees.

Those leaves, tree trunks, and the like were indeed genuine plants; Zhang Xiaoman even saw quite a few bird nests on its branches, and inside, discovered some chicks.

These birds must have flown in by accident previously; unfortunately, now with the presence of the shield, they would likely find it very difficult to leave again in the future.

For this reason, Zhang Xiaoman had the Star Rank emit some sound waves from the shield, and with these sound waves, the birds wouldn’t crash into it and suffer large-scale casualties.

Besides birds, he also released some rabbits, chickens, and ducks on each of the seven islands, not too many, letting them breed on their own first since the grass grew fast here and there was no fear of them eating it all.

However, without natural predators, the breeding rate of these creatures could be terrifying.

Wild rabbits can reproduce over three litters a year, with approximately eight per litter. Thus, these islands could soon be overrun with these small animals.

Therefore, after consulting an old biology colleague of his mother’s, Zhang Xiaoman would release some small predators according to the specific time and their breeding situation, to achieve ecological balance on the islands.

Of course, these tasks did not require his hands-on involvement; they were managed by the folks from the Light Blue Clan, with Ji Xiaoqi being the first to propose this idea.

Despite her brisk and decisive manner, which exuded a boss-like aura, she was actually a girl who especially loved small animals.

It was after she saw the rabbits, chickens, ducks, and geese brought by Zhang Xiaoman that she proposed the idea to enrich the ecology, which was adopted by Lord Star Lord and left her delightedly buying a large batch of wild rabbits and wild chickens from the market.

...

"Do you know what species these birds are?"

Zhang Xiaoman approached a bird’s nest, looking at the nest full of bald chicks with oversized mouths, and couldn’t help but ask his intelligent system.

"I’m sorry, Star Lord. Your database does not contain relevant data. Would you like to name them now?"

"Forget it."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, his inquiry was just a subconscious reaction; he hadn’t actually expected Star Rank to be able to answer.

After all, that guy was purely an add-on created by the Ultimate Item. Although its intelligence was formidable and its black technology impressive, for anything outside of gang operations, it was mostly clueless.

"Star Lord, do you need assistance in eliminating these illegal invasive creatures?"

"No need."

Zhang Xiaoman’s face darkened, he had just praised its intelligence, but now, it seemed a bit dim-witted.

He was now standing on a thick branch of the World Tree, which was wide enough to comfortably accommodate two cars side by side with room to spare.

Turning his attention away from the bird’s nest, Zhang Xiaoman picked up the bag containing the "Shield Magnetic Field Interference Module" and boarded the Dawn, which was hovering nearby.

"Star Rank, are you sure all I need to do is scatter it like this?"

He asked for confirmation one last time.

"Yes, Lord Star Lord, you just need to scatter the Upgrade Module within a 500-meter radius of the main host," came the reply.

"Alright then."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman wasted no more time, ripping open the package and standing at the door of the anti-gravity car, he scattered the contents of the "fertilizer" bag.

The stuff was strange; it felt like fine sand through the bag, but as soon as he poured it out, it turned into something like flowing water.

After scattering the "fertilizer," he immediately closed the car door and ordered the Dawn to increase its altitude, eager to see what changes would occur.

As the liquid-like Upgrade Modules dissolved into the World Tree, the spectacle of the giant tree’s growth occurred once again.

The already 200-meter-tall World Tree began to grow insanely, shooting up once more.

New green branches sprouted from the trunk while emerald leaves rapidly expanded, the scene reminiscent of accelerated plant growth in a nature documentary.

Finally, after the World Tree had gained another 50 meters in height, the process came to a halt.

An invisible barrier started to form and, in just a few breaths, it completely enveloped a 100-kilometer radius extending from the Shield.

From now on, all electronic devices and precision machinery within this area would be rendered useless, incapable of receiving or transmitting longwave or shortwave signals.

"Wow, that’s spectacular! Indeed, after strengthening the World Tree, its size increases further..."

Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but feel moved as he watched the scene unfold before him.

"Thank goodness the lake is big enough, and Tianquan Island is large enough; there’s no need to worry about space for the time being. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough room to accommodate this tree."

Having flown the Dawn around the World Tree, up and down, Zhang Xiaoman finally curbed his curiosity and headed back to the main base of the Star Alliance.

It was already past eight in the evening local time, which for him, meant it was just mealtime.

After getting some food from the cafeteria for his dinner, Zhang Xiaoman sat at the table and began to eat alone.

Ye Fei’s cooking was indeed remarkable; with his meals, everyone in the craftsmen group had gained several pounds.

The guys were okay, but it was tough on the girl Tang Xueke.

On a diet, she was tortured by the aroma of the food every mealtime and could only hide far away in her room, refusing to come out.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman had heated up two dishes and, not being fussy, sat contentedly in the cafeteria enjoying his meal.

This time of evening, the members of the craftsmen group had all gone to do their own activities.

Sun Hao read novels alone in his room, Xiang Yu and Shuai Yu huddled together playing PS games, Old Wang was fishing by the lake, and Tang Xueke was doing her routine fitness exercises to lose weight.

As for Ye Fei, he had borrowed an Enlightenment Kaleidoscope from Ye Cang and, after using the item, was now fast asleep.
